FLL-CUN Sold Out all month? Oct
So Ive been researching the 7:45pm flight out of FLL to CUN in October and there has been plenty of space the past few days. Today I look and from Oct 6-Nov 2nd that time slot is sold out completely, every day. Is something wrong here or is this normal? This is definitely not peak season down there.

Airlines Trim Flights to Mexican Resort Areas as Demand Softens
While Mexican tourism officials insist the country's resort areas are safe, the U.S. State Department has noted, "Violent crime, such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery, is widespread" in Mexico.
A Journal Sentinel investigation, launched in July 2017, identified the problems with alcohol-related blackouts at resorts in Mexico. In all, more than 170 travelers have described injuries, illnesses and deaths after drinking alcohol at resorts and in tourist towns in Mexico.

I've seen that it's common airline practice to keep a flight posted with zero seats for booking when they've taken it off the schedule. I'm not sure of the reason: perhaps they have it that way until all booked passengers have been re-accommodated (perhaps just with a refund).

Yeah, unfortunately, you can't get a ticket. Besides, I think he can fly JetBlue or Spirit. He can fly MIA-CUN on AA or any other airline from Miami.

Just checked the schedule. The 7:45pm flight is now available through October 6, but removed from the schedule until November 3 (open on 11/3 only). Then switched to 7:05pm on November 4. I didn't go through all of November, but stays at 7:05pm for a while.

The other two flights per day are available, just that late one was not.
